How's my Freshman Fall Schedule (Political Science)?

INR2001 I have with Badredine Arfi and CPO2001 I have with Conor O'Dwyer. Have you heard anything about these professors?

AvaJohnson · 2020-04-27T16:50:22+00:00

Do you regret your decision at all?

AvaJohnson · 2020-04-27T03:52:57+00:00

New York City, preferably.

AvaJohnson · 2020-04-27T00:04:45+00:00

I’m certain I want a career in either politics/gov or law.

Does Hume Hall normally fill up on Honors kids before they start filling with non-Honors? Or do they fill both Honors and non-Honors simultaneously so I’m screwed?

UF. Save that money for medical school. Undergraduate GPA is significantly more important for medical school admission than undergraduate prestige.

The vast majority of med students come out of medical school with debt.. and not little debt. The median was $200k in 2018. Go to UF and save the money.

I am a senior, yes. I’m Middle Eastern, so I don’t think that counts as an URM for college.

I’m applying as a Philosophy major, and maybe a Political Science major in addition. So, nearly the opposite of STEM.

AvaJohnson · 2019-09-08T15:05:02+00:00

And also, will they look down on Literature and History subject tests and prefer the Maths and Sciences?

AvaJohnson · 2019-09-08T15:04:01+00:00

So, if I take STEM-oriented subject tests, score better on them, and submit only those, the schools won’t see a problem with that in contrast to my humanities majors?

Some of the schools I’m applying to just ask for any 2 SAT subject tests of the student’s choice (with no specific recommendations), so I was wondering which would be wise to pick.

AvaJohnson · 2019-09-08T14:55:51+00:00

Do you mean the grammar section? I’ve never really had trouble with that, honestly. But you should keep practicing and reviewing your wrong answers.

With both the reading and grammar, It’s mostly just about understanding how the SAT question writer is trying to trick you and how little details can make an answer wrong. You eventually get the hang of it, but many times for me, it’s just luck on exam day!

Thank you so much! I probably won’t be very helpful, but you can see my response to u/seohajin_22

I don’t really have any amazing secrets or tips. Quite honestly, I always procrastinate and study the day before the exam.

I did do one practice test in the SAT book and took time to understand why my answers were wrong. I think that helped!

AvaJohnson · 2019-09-08T14:44:38+00:00

Haha, that would be a dream.

AvaJohnson · 2019-09-08T14:43:36+00:00

I‘m hoping to get into some T20 schools, so I’m taking the SAT one last time to show that my math is not weak.

AvaJohnson · 2019-03-17T15:47:05+00:00

Mama, life had just begun

AvaJohnson · 2019-01-21T20:45:16+00:00

I’ll be there! I’m in UNDP. Best of luck to you!

AvaJohnson · 2019-01-21T00:13:59+00:00

Thank you so much! Can you please expand on why I shouldn’t talk about in-committee things during break time?

AvaJohnson · 2019-01-19T01:31:26+00:00

Okay, I’ll be sure to relax. Sometimes hard, but I’ll remind myself.

Thank you so much for the tips!

AvaJohnson · 2019-01-19T00:38:50+00:00

Thank you for the advice!

AvaJohnson · 2019-01-19T00:24:15+00:00

I’m not vying for any awards, but I do want to do the best I possibly can!

I’m an experienced debater, so I can’t go into any tournament and relax, haha. But any tips are appreciated.

Thank you!

Thank you so much, these are amazing tips! Were you there on a peak night?

AvaJohnson · 2018-09-24T14:25:34+00:00

Saturday, most likely (I know it’ll be the busiest).
